Only mistral could re rerelease deepseeks model and do a worse job.

This shouldn’t be news. I grew up in Texas and most of my high school’s top 8% were cheating to stay ahead. Older siblings handed down tests and kids snuck into classes to steal ex…

Not surprised. Every relationship in America is transactional. Work is cut throat especially at stacked ranking companies. This country is basically a social Darwinian hellhole. Fr…

It’s very unlikely you’re using custom encryption. You only need to submit this if you are.

Empire maintenance is hard. USAID was a form of soft power that prevented the necessary use of blunt force. Given the rhetoric against China, the consolidation of power and rise of…

Historically you pretty much have to wait for the institutions to over extend itself before an opportunity arises for means reversion. Fascism can never be satisfied with the statu…

Not true lol. I used to work at JPMC and got a 20% bump switching to a much much less sexy industry writing software.

This is pure cope. Brand loyalty will do nothing against the Chinese car companies. American car companies relied heavily on tariffs and import limits to compete with Japanese car …

If you’re in the major Texas cities you know there’s really only one.

I have no idea what they were talking about. For all I know they could have been talking about soccer.

This happened at intel and was very noticeable even back in 2010. Indians hires other Indians. At every company I’ve been at if you were not Indian you were not invited to the conv…

I’m an engineer at a grocery chain that essentially has a monopoly in most of Texas. The chain has a good and well earned reputation for the public but it definitely uses underhand…

1. An economy driven by physical commodities like oil are susceptible to corruption and stagnation. 2. Norways dependence on oil has prevented it from doing anything meaningful eco…

Bambu labs got me into 3d printing. It’s the most seamless and simple 3d printer and functions as basically an appliance. Huge leap for 3d printing and I suspect we’re closer than …

Hey guys I recently launched my company’s first product last month. It’s a ML driven comic collection manager app. We have 1200 users so it’s been a great success for a bootstrappe…
